ABOUT BJJ BUILDING BLOCKS

BJJ Building Blocks includes a collection of the most essential jiu jitsu techniques and principles that Nic has discovered and been taught during his study of the art.

Every one of these moves and principles has been through dozens and dozens of hours of testing on the mat. Some of them he learned from directly from his instructor Roger Gracie, some during his travels to train in Brazil and Japan, and others from his sparring partners and contemporaries.
